* StealthExpert: Infamous for guerrilla tactics, Vietnan has a knack for hiding in trees and bushes.

* ChummyCommies: Despite still being communist, he has a decent relationship with the rest of the world outside of some territory disputes.

* BlackSheep: In [[http://i.imgur.com/NMfQY7P.png this comic]], he gets treated amongst the Southeast Asian countries as such.

* NiceGuy: Along with Vietnam, he is one of the last remaining communist countries that doesn't get the same levels of bad rap from other countries (apart of his BlackSheep treatment above). He [[https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Laosball tries his best to treat his neighbors with respect]], while the others are more prone to get into spats with each other. He is even able to befriend China and North Korea of all people.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Just the mere act of recognizing his genocide will earn you his friendship, even if you are a kebab like Lebanon or Syria.

** Also, asking him to gib more of his clay, after already losing so much.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective of Nagorno Karabakh.

** IronButtMonkey: [[http://i.imgur.com/mwZkH.png He's still standing though.]]
* CommonalityConnection: Recognizing the Armenian genocide or being a Kebab remover is a pretty easy way to get on Armenia's good side as can be indicated by his [[https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Armeniaball friend's list in his Polandball wiki page]]
* DependingOnTheWriter: His relationship with Georgia determines whether or not the maker of the comic sees the two countries as friends or enemies.
* MetalHead: [[http://i.imgur.com/h1mESTl.jpg He's a fan of Armenian American rock band System Of A Down]].
* OddFriendship: He actually gets along well with many Muslim countries, unless they happen to be named Turkey, Azerbaijan or Pakistan. Examples include Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Indonesia; the case with Iran is even more ironic considering both had a very violent history when Iran is still Persia, mostly due to Iran's resentment of Azerbaijan.

* SaintlyChurch: Is proud of his Christian roots and being the first nation in the world to adopt Christianity.
* SkewedPriorities: Loves his churches, to the point where after his second largest cityball Gyumriball was destroyed in an earthquake [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/polandball/images/9/90/Gyumriball_Armeniaball.png/revision/latest?cb=20151124200101 his main concern was the church]].

* WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide: He's really bitter than many nations don't recognize the Armenian genocide.
* WhyWontYouDie: Centuries of violence and he's still kicking.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He might be nice and polite most of the time, but he is not one to underestimate when he gets provoked (see ClusterFBomb below)

* ClusterFBomb: If his [[https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Bruneiball reactions]] towards his enemies could attest.

* FairWeatherFriend: Is generally portrayed as a friendly NiceGuy, but would rather stay out and not get involved when arguments escalate between his friends.
* NiceGuy: A common portrayal of him apart from his richness.

* DeadpanSnarker: Calling him sarcastic is an understatement. Almost every of his appearances involve him snarking at another nation, Malaysia and Indonesia being his favorite targets.

* TrueCompanons: With Greece, Russia, Iran and the other "Kebab Removers" like Serbia and Romania.

* PlatonicLifePartners: With Greece, Russia, Iran and the other "Kebab Removers" like Serbia and Romania.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Lavash, a type of Armenian flat bread. Like kebab for Turkic people and vodka for Russians, it can be used as shorthand for Armenians.
* TraumaCongaLine: Has had a very long, very violent history.

* NoPronunciationGuide: A common grievance with his name is that it's easily mispronunceable as "Laos", even though the correct pronunciation is "Lao". Of course, mispronuncing his name is a huge BerserkButton for him.

** Nothing that can't be put to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/4zzeuf/syria_the_musical/ song!]]

* IdenticallyNamedGroup: Forms one with the similarly-named US stateball Georgia.

* IdenticallyNamedGroup: Forms one with the similarly-named US stateball Georgia.

* NamesTheSame: [[{{Invoked}} In-universe]] with the US stateball Georgia.

* {{Jerkass}}: He's fundamentalist, trigger-happy, egotistical and incredibly bigoted towards anyone else who isn't a straight Arab male; [[TheFriendNobodyLikes even his closest allies only get along with him because of his oil and nothing else.]] He's probably the closest modern day sovereign countryball that could qualify as a HateSink, even more so than North Korea.
